This plane has been based at Boeing Field for several years.
I've heard that it is a Star Wars testbed with a laser gun in
it, I've heard that it is a photo plane which takes pictures
of satellites. I've been informed that it is a part of missile
testing flying to Kwajalein to photograph incoming missiles launched
from California. Going to this page requires some scrolling because
these pictures are large.

You know you're getting old when the plane you started your
flying career in is in the museum. Yes, there is also a flyable
Boeing Tri Motor in this museum. Going to this page requires
scrolling. The pictures are full size and haven't been made smaller
to fit your screen.

Lake Washington is on the east side of Seattle. There are
major seaplane bases at Kenmore (Kenmore Air Harbor) at the north
end of Lake Washington and Renton (Renton Airport) on the south
end of Lake Washington. My page has a formation take off of 4
DeHavilland Beaver Seaplanes.

Adjacent to downtown Seattle. The place I took my very first
flying lesson in a Taylorcraft on pontoons at Kurtzer's. Now
home to several seaplanes and a terminal for Kenmore Air Harbor's
flights to the San Juan Islands, Victoria, B.C., and points north.

The Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Air Show is one of the
finest in the Northwest. Now that Paine Field's Air Show is gone,
this is the closest big Air Show around Shoreline. The unlimited
hydro plane races on Lake Washington have a great Air Show, but
you can't walk around the planes and get near them.

The Boeing VTOL craft built for the Marines. I personally
enjoy the technology, but don't think this is a practical aircraft.
I believe it is so inherently dangerous, that it won't really
make a mark in military aviation.

I'm looking for pictures of weird looking and ugly aircraft.
If you have any links to sites with airplanes like that, I would
appreciate your sharing them with me. Attach them to e-mail to
me at drdan71@aol.com.
